There is nothing quite like an adventure, particularly one that can be embarked upon from the comfort of a trusty armchair. Here, we have collected our favourite travel writing from those travellers who have ventured far and wide - from the green hills of Africa, chronicling Ernest Hemingway's month-long safari trip during December 1933, to Diana Athill's summer in spent in Florence, Italy. Whether by plane or train, boat or car, traversing the globe has never been easier.
